One place …. just 87 years apart ….. Beech Road 1935 …. 2022

The blog doesn’t usually do then and now pictures.

Beech Road, 1935

But this one which was taken by the sister of Marjorie Holmes is a favourite of mine.

It is a bit blurred but that is what comes with a “snap”, but then the quality of the second is only marginally better.

 The first was taken during the Jubilee celebrations for King George V in 1935 and mine just a few days ago.

I will leave it to others to make the obvious observation and repeat that request for more “snaps” of where we live.

For those interested behind the wall on the left of Marjorie's picture was still a laundry, while what is now Suburban Green, had been variously an ironmonger's, a hair dressers and even a piano shop before settling down to its long association as a bar and restaurant in the mid 1980s.

Beech Road, 2022

The first of which was Café on the Green.
